- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- â…“ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional
- â…“ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated erythritol until well combined for a uniform dry mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Lightly flatten each cookie dough ball to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookies look firm.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute erythritol with monk fruit sweetener to keep the cookies keto-friendly and low-carb.
- For a dairy-free option, replace butter with coconut oil.
- Make sure not to overbake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Adding sugar-free chocolate chips is optional but adds extra texture and flavor.
